British Movie Rating Board Certifies 10-Hour Film of Paint Drying

A ten-hour British film made solely to bore the judges of the U.K.’s motion picture rating system may have achieved its goal: on Tuesday, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) gave their official certification to the picture. It received a “U,” or Universal, rating — the equivalent of G in the U.S.

The film is called Paint Drying,and features exactly and only that for 607 minutes, UPI reports. It is the work of director Charlie Lyne, who conceived the project as a statement against what he saw as the unfair clout of the BBFC in the U.K.’s film industry. On the Kickstarter page Lyne launched to fund the endeavor, he noted that British law prohibits cinemas from showing films that have not received a BBFC certificate.
